Help with Lawnmower Blenny

[bigjames1300r]

My lawnmower blenny looks like he is starving. I have had him for about 5 months and at first he was doing well. He never ate anything but algae and now I think the cheato in my fuge is growing so fast that I think now there is not enough algae growing in the display to keep my lawnmower nice and fat like he used to be. Is there anything they will ear besides algae?? Any suggestions??

Thanks in Advance,

James

No clue - but chaeto is algae... maybe give him a clump of that to play with?

I go to the oriental market (Grandmart) and buy sheets of Nori and other sushi-roll type seaweed. My lawnmower loves to eat it from a clip. What he doesn't eat, the snails get at night.

 

Perhaps that'll work for you.

I agree it may be time to suppliment with some flaked algae. Tangs really like nori but, I've found that many other herbavores prefer a preflaked food to eating from a clip. Most angel blends will be great, I also am a big fan of Omega so I get their algae blend and mix in with everyone elses food.
